Our Clothes Swap is back! Bring all your unworn or unwanted clothes and swap them for new-to-you garms to refresh your wardrobe the eco-friendly way. This is no second-hand clothes scrum! It’s a boutique shopping experience with a difference. All clothing welcome!

The Welcome: Community Takeover is a series of free events at Aviva Studios featuring creative workshops, talks, kids’ activities and the best local music. Just drop by the Social – there's always something on.

Here’s how the swap works:

● This is FREE swap but limited tickets are available, so book in advance to reserve your spot. Please keep a note of your booking information as we will need this upon entry (this can be your name or confirmation code)

● Bring along up to 10 garments (all clothing welcome).

● For each item of clothing you bring, you’ll get a stamp on your swap card. We grade clothes into two categories on arrival: GREAT (designer, vintage and high-end high street) and GOOD (high street and everything else). You swap like for like, so a Great item gets you another Great item, or you can ‘swap down’ for a Good item. We will be limiting the number of items you can ‘swap up’ (two GOODS for a GREAT) for to 1 item per swap.

● Browse the rails and find some clothes you love – try them on if you like!

● Check out at the reception desk to get your swap card updated

● If you have spare stamps at the end, you can bring them along to the next swap. If you have stamp cards from before the lockdown, these cards will be valid for you to use.

● Pro Swapping tip – have a quick sort of your clothes into our above ‘Great’ and ‘Good’ categories before coming and save yourself some time checking in and spend more time swapping!

Please note we do document our events and share the photos on our social media channels and online – if you do not wish to be photographed, please let a member of our team know on the day.
